Mark And Duncans R32 Build

[shanef]

lol that pics is close but not the same. I'll keep it for another day

Mark and I were doing something silly and adding up the other day. The head prep, porting, springs, shims, valves and cams cost more than the rolling shell. or the cage. or the bottom end. or the intake and turbos. or all the suspension bits put together. In fact it is the most expensive bit of the car so far.

Shane that head looks good and even looking at it you can see why it would make a difference with the smooth curves. For now we will stick with what we have but we might clean up the squish zones once our wallets have recovered.

yeh im sure it'll do what its suppose to, cant wait to get it on the rollers to see what it does. its a 6k head with all the valvetrain gear. we were lucky as we ordered all the parts before the ass fell out of the dollar

that ones got

supertech dual springs & TI retainers

supertech guides

supertech 1mm inlet and 1mm exhaust valves

tomei 270 10.8 inlet and 280 10.8 exhaust cams

tomei cam cap studs

will @ jhh had to machine up some custom inner spring seats as supertech dont make them for the rb26. apparantly with the ferrea kit you can get a ferrea seat to suit, just a headsup if ur using supertech springs

lol no racing is cheap. and as the old say goes, "how quick do you want to go? = how much do you want to spend?"

but this car is still well under $20k including the car which is damn cheap for the pace it should go. one day

[Neil]

Ah I love ya mate,,,if I was a girl i'd let you have your way with me and have your baby.

One each should be very interesting. You know they are 5 litres each. Mondays work might well suffer.

Post the pic of me 'delivering' these parts and i will kill you Duncan

[Merli]

Post it or ban!!!

Oh, and I suppose I should have asked BEFORE I shredded it into a million little fluffy bits, but it's okay to remove the front firewall sound/heat deadening right?

[benm]

I got my cluster yesterday, now i'm just waiting on the damn car.... cmonnn you slow ass ship!!

[Duncan]

well at least it reads in klm/h Ben:p

Andrew....for sure. anything that deadens sound must be removed so it sounds more like a race car.

(I don't think it will go any faster but it will sound better)

John @ UAS has been doing some very interesting stuff with front upper control arms (not as full on as Brad but still pretty interesting). Not sure what we will do about this yet. The rear subframe should be back from it's adjustments soon

[shanef]

thought id just put up the pics i took of the head today. I could look at this thing all day long

[Risking]

I haven't seen Pelicans new upper arms yet but I have heard the're interesting.

I have the front of my white car sorted out now. Now the old 380 18inch slicks are a "loose" fit.

Ill be doing something similar with the rear Duncan. Problem I have is I can fit bigger rims on the front than the rear atm.

We also spent a day on the dyno yesterday with the Grey GTR, (Massive thanks to Guilt toy for lining up the borrowing of an AWD dyno)

The dry sump worked perfectly, engine is very strong and laughed at 1.3 bar.

Its first outting will be oran park next week, just need to finish off the radiator and header tank system. Drain the oil tank a little bit and put the slicks back on.

[Duncan]

oh dear both daed

sexy legs

[Risking]

Boys I think my hole is bigger than yours

Sorry Ben but the boot floor really did need to go.

So did much of the other steel in the car....

[haw001]

Looks to be about the same. Duncan took another chop at it a while ago and cut to the chassis rails, which looks to be about what you have done.

[benm]

It took 2 years for me to smash the front of my car then strip and prime the rear and you go and ruin it all in a couple of weeks by fixing the damn thing, shame on you......

[Duncan]

haha i was hoping you would chop across the chasis rails too. not sure what use they are sticking back there behind the subframe and suspension mounts

Mark...don't forget the plenum tommoz.

Ben, I think there is more to come on that poor old car.

[Kel]

sexy legs

Are you trying to hit on Scotty's or his wife

Let's hope this engine doesn't die as quickly as those kegs did!

[Risking]

I think the rear rails will stay. I have cut right up to them and finished off the edges alot neater now. They will be needed to mount fuel cell, diff, box and transfer coolers etc from as well.

Oh hell yes this little old car is going to get alot more cut up yet. The front end will be cut out and finished shortly. Ill wait till Ive finished the cage before going much further though incase things move around. Saying that though I believe Ive run you through the stuff Ive been working on for the front end Duncan??

Ben the firewall has all be repaired now. It took 3/4 of a day to beat back into decent shape and a little work TIG welding a few new sections in where there was holes.
